While browsing the incredible graphics at The Graphic Fairy, I stumbled upon these adorable vintage chair graphics and decided to use them for a coaster project.
I started with four coasters that already had. I measured the diameter so I knew how big my graphic needed to be. Using Photoshop, I imported both the chair photo and this frame image from The Graphics Fairy.
After playing around with dimensions and adding some text, I ended up with these four images:
I printed them out on regular computer paper, cut around the edge, and mod podged them onto the coaster surface.
Then I painted the gold edges with a light blue paint, let it dry, and rubbed some off to distress it a bit.
After everything dried, I covered the coasters with two coats of clear acrylic paint sealer.

Feel free to use the images that I create for your own projects, just link back to my original blog post. Thanks!
That's it! Super easy, thanks to The Graphics Fairy!
